Overview

This day trip replaces the long boat crossing from Nassau with a roundtrip flight to the Exumas, then runs a boat circuit through seven stops in about six hours. Hotel or vacation rental pickup on Nassau is included, both to the airport before the tour and back after the return flight. Once on the water, guests move between Pig Beach, Great Guana Cay, Thunderball Grotto, Compass Cay, Staniel Cay and an Exuma sand bar, with roughly 20 to 25 minutes at most stops and an hour around Staniel Cay.

The boat carries an average of eight guests, and the tour is capped at fifteen travellers. Lunch is island style, with vegan and gluten-free options on request, and bottled water, soft drinks, beer and snacks are on board. Snorkelling gear and towels are provided, and all fees and taxes are in the price. Gratuities for the captain and crew, souvenirs and specialty drinks are not.

Reviewers repeatedly describe the day as tightly organized, with one reviewer noting the transport team, pilot, boat team and restaurant all ran like a machine. The flight itself is a draw: one traveller wrote that the small plane provided unmatched views of the islands. The tour suits travellers comfortable with light physical activity, boarding a boat and getting in and out of shallow water. It is not wheelchair accessible, and infants must sit on laps.

What To Expect From The Tour

Early start. One reviewer reported a 7:30 am hotel pickup, so expect a long, early day. The exact pickup time is only confirmed the evening before, once flight logistics are set. Plan accordingly if you have evening plans in Nassau.
Small plane. The flight is in a light aircraft, which reviewers describe as smooth and scenic. Anyone uneasy about small planes should factor that in.
Getting wet. The tour involves boarding a boat, swimming and snorkelling at several stops, and getting on and off at each one. Towels and snorkelling gear are provided.
Food and drink. Lunch is island style, with vegan and gluten-free options on request. Bottled water, soft drinks, beer, chips and light snacks are on board.
Small group. The listing gives an average of eight guests per boat, with a maximum of fifteen travellers on the tour.
Weather flexibility. The experience requires good weather, and the listing offers a different date or a full refund if it is cancelled for poor conditions. Build a spare day into your trip if you can.

Common issues. The tour is not wheelchair accessible, infants must sit on laps, and pregnant guests and travellers with medical conditions are advised to consult a doctor first, since the day combines flights, boat travel and water activity.
